What happens when drone technology evolves from aerial photos to millions of precise data points every second?

In this episode of Interstate & Main Street, we sit down with Ryan Scanlan, Point Cloud Data Manager at Interstate Engineering, to explore the next generation of UAS LiDAR technology. From vegetation penetration and digital twins to faster project delivery and enhanced safety, Ryan breaks down how enterprise-grade systems like the Skyfront P8 and YellowScan Voyager are changing the way engineers, surveyors, and communities approach infrastructure projects.

Whether you're an engineer, surveyor, contractor, or simply curious about emerging technology, this conversation offers an inside look at how cutting-edge aerial mapping is helping build stronger communities.
